| description | Results of recent imaging observations of Virgo A (M 87) are presented. The flow seen in the inner region as the M 87 jet appears to continue out onto much large scales, up to 35 kpc in projection from the cluster core. The energy flux, which supposedly originates in the black hole in the M 87 core, appears. ultimately to be deposited in the hot X-ray gas in the cluster core in the form of heat and work in blowing up two large bubbles. The input energy from the jet currently exceeds the radiative cooling by about a factor of ten or more. This probably transient phenomenon may play an important role in the life history of a cluster core but requires the study of many more examples to understand fully. |
